Thanks for the suggestions. Rather embarrassingly, the problem was that Sphinx had not been installed. Perhaps one day I'll get around to submitting a patch that checks to see if the searchd command is available and if not lets the user know and suggests checking the sphinx install. Admittedly it's a fairly obvious thing to check but the error message sent me off on the wrong path of investigation.
